Join us for an afternoon of creating and editing pages for BIPOC Scientists and Technologists! Wikipedia overwhelmingly recognizes the achievements of white people. This wiki-a-thon works to reverse this trend, highlighting the often overlooked accomplishments of BIPOC leaders in science and technology, and ensuring that the new generation can see role models who look like them. Read more about our inspiration here. When: Thursday, June 17th from 1-5pm. Where: Zoom (link will be mailed out closer to the date) Sign up: https://bit.ly/3hC7iJB No experience contributing to Wikipedia? No problem! There will be a short training on how to contribute at 1pm. Training will also be provided on demand throughout the afternoon. Can't come for the whole afternoon? No worries!
